Hey I'm getting those 2 codes on my 2002 beetle 4 speed auto trans. The p 0722 is for the output speed sensor and the p0730 is for something ratio I forgot. But my question is how does the speed sensor look and where it is at located in the car. And for the p0730 how can I fix that. Thanks guys in advance for any info u can give me

P0722 Volkswagen Output Speed Sensor No Signal OBDII Engine Light Trouble Code | Engine-Codes.com

The sensor; based upon the code seems to be the "G68 Output speed sensor".

With the 4 speed auto; i would assume you have the 01M. Here are the sensor locations (note: there are 3 different sensors: look for the "G68 Output speed sensor" location):

This thread; is interesting as it says there are TSB's about this issue and new wiring harnesses are discussed as a possible solution. Read for more info:

I guess doing some testing of the wiring; sounds like a good idea and I'm wondering if the drive gear is ok (does the speedo and cruise still work)?
